The new school season in Greece comes this week with the inauguration of the first private professional lyceum, for teenagers aged from 14 to 17 years old, on Chios island that has a specific direction toward maritime professions.

Nikos Tsakos may be 32 years old but he's only known what he wants to do when he grows up - what he's good at, the thing that will give his life meaning - for a few months. He started in the field he studied - information technology - but the firm he worked for in Athens went bankrupt and Nikos was forced to go back home, to the island of Chios.
